How to Watch Live: TV, Streaming, and Tickets
For TV fans, the matches are on Star Sports Network – Channel 5 for prime‑time games and Channel 4 for weekday fixtures. If you prefer streaming, Disney+ Hotstar carries every live match plus a post‑game highlight reel. The app also offers a free trial during the first week, so you can test the service before buying a subscription.
Want to be in the stadium? Tickets go on sale next Monday through the official WPL portal and partner ticketing sites. Early‑bird prices start at ₹500 for weekday games and go up to ₹2,500 for the final. Family packages include a discount for two adults and two kids, making it affordable for a day out.
For those who can’t make it to the venue, local bars and cafes in the host cities often host watch parties. Look for promotions like “Free drink with ticket” or “Half‑price snacks during innings break.” These events add a social vibe without the travel hassle.
Finally, keep an eye on the WPL social media handles. They post real‑time score updates, player interviews and behind‑the‑scenes clips that make you feel part of the action even if you’re at home.
Whether you’re a die‑hard fan or just curious about women’s cricket, the 2025 Women's Premier League has something for everyone. Mark your calendar, grab your tickets or fire up the streaming app – the season is about to kick off, and you won’t want to miss a single boundary.
